Bilodeau Provides First Gold on Canadian Soil

Bilodeau 1It was the most exciting win so far for Canada, as Alexandre Bilodeau took gold for moguls at Cypress Mountain on Sunday.
The win was even sweeter as Bilodeau, a young competitor not favoured to win, bypassed Canadian ex-patriot and defending champion, Dale Begg-Smith. Their scores were close, but in the end Bilodeau broke new ground with a time of 23.17 seconds and final score of 26.76.
This long-awaited historic event has been in the making since Canada first hosted the Olympics back in 1976. This is truly an inspiring moment for the country, and is just the momentum Team Canada needs to make this the first of many gold medals won at home.
